Hauppauge, NY
At approximately 21:55, I was traveling east on Veterans Highway in Hauppauge, NY, when I noticed a bright blue light in the sky. I have never seen such a vibrant bright color of blue. It was beautiful. The light seemed to follow me, so I pullover over on Veterans Highway 454 to take pictures and observe it (10 minutes). It stayed very bright and seemed to get smaller and larger; almost looked like it was in two pieces at one point. But I think that was cloud cover. It seemed to disappear quickly. I resumed on my drive home. I took several pictures and have them on my computer.

Swain, NY
I was sitting in my hot tub around 5:30pm. It just got completely dark. It was a clear sky and the stars were not completely visible being was early evening. In the south west sky there were what looked like three stars in a triangle formation. It looked odd being that the surrounding stars were not all that visible. I started to pay attention to it and the three “stars” were moving together slowly going from the south east to the northwest. Once, recognizing this it became easier to see that it looked like a very large black (the color was very similar to the surrounding night sky) triangle very high up moving like a glider, no noise and slow. It was like it was camouflaged. It was moving across the sky for about thirty seconds and then the lights and the camouflaged center faded and it was gone. Normally, I would not take the time to report this however after it faded there were two more tradition single bright red and white lights, alternating flashing showed up 30 seconds later from the east and slowly circled the area in the sky where the triangle was. This lasted for 5 minutes then they proceeded northwest. The speed, to me suggested these were helicopters however no sound and they were at a very high altitude. I do not have pictures. My cell phone was inside and I was as I stated in the hot tub and it happened pretty quickly time wise.

East Irondequoit, NY
I was driving down the highway just before midnight, when I noticed lights of to my left and immediately I thought it was a large plane. I slowed down so I could look more closely, and when I did, the craft banked right and flew over my vehicle. I rolled down my window with no radio playing. As it passed over, I saw how big it was, it was huge. Biggest plane I have ever seen. But when it passed over all I could see was 3 lights. I could not make out any other features, so I assumed it was a plane or triangular. 1 light in front with 1 light at 45 degrees behind the front light to either side of the front light. It made no sound and was moving very slowly. When it had passed over me, I could see it out the passenger window. It looked as if it was going to crash into the city of Irondequoit. The craft then started to ascend and I could make out features of the craft by its silhouette from the city lights. What I saw was something I have never seen before. 3 identical cylindrical objects. 2 above 1 below. The 2 above at a 45 degrees to either side of the 1 below. Both connected by beams to the 1 below. The lights were not ordinary, they looked like fire but not fire. I would guess that they were electro magnetic propulsion. These cylinders were identical and reversed. The 2 on top lights were in back and the 1 on the bottom was in front. Don't laugh but the structure of the ship truly resembled the star ship enterprise without the disc and neck.

Batavia, NY
While out driving on November 7, 2015, my wife and I had seen something strange. We had seen a triangular shape object and it had a set of lights that looked white. I had tried to take pictures but my camera would not focus so I didn’t get any pictures. We were in East Pembroke on Indian Falls Rd when we had seen this unusual object. We had decided to pull over and within five minutes of sitting there the object had started to move. It didn’t move very fast. It also made no noise as well as being very low. Husband's report. PD

Batavia, NY
On the night of November 7, 2015, my husband and I were driving along going through East Pembroke, NY when we saw a strange set of lights as well as strange shape. The road was Indian falls road. They looked a white color. This object seemed to be in the shape of a triangle. We had decided to pull over to try to get a closer look at it. My husband tried to take pictures but he couldn’t get the camera to zoom any further. We had seen it about five minutes before it disappeared. This object traveled very low to the ground, made no noise and moved about thirty miles per hour if even that. Wife's report. PD

My first reaction was an aircraft but then I knew its speed was too great and my husband agreed. I have never witnessed anything like this before, and it was pretty spectacular to see!

Rensselaer, NY
I stopped just past an intersection, to take pictures of what I thought was a pretty sky. I took several photos in sequence. I didn't notice anything in particular. When I looked at the pictures on my phone, I noticed a white spot in the sky. I have a good phone, so I zoomed in on it. It looks to be a series of lights. Either 4 with a reflection off the cloud to look like 8, or actually 8 lights in a rectangluar formation. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Saratoga Springs, NY
After traveling for approximately one minute in a continuous motion and direction, the craft seemed to stop and hover for several minutes. The craft continues to move in short jagged and also circular motions, staying within a certain space and performing maneuvers at a slow rate, but unlike any craft I have ever seen. At first I thought it was a helicopter, but then realized it was far too high in the sky and would not stay in such a tight flight pattern for as long as it has. To my knowledge, I have never seen a UFO, but believe this to be my first sighting.

THE DESCRIPTION OF THE OBJECT(S) WHERE TRIANGULAR SHAPE WITH BRIGHT ORANGE BLINKING LIGHTS. THEY CAME FROM THE NORTH AND MOVED SLOWLY ACROSS THE SKY TO THE SOUTH, MAKING A 90 DEGREE TURN TO THE WEST, AND THE FOURTH ONE CAME OUT OF NOWHERE WITH BRIGHT ORANGE LITE, NOT FLASHING, AND I SEEN TWO JETS CHASING THEM AWAY, AND THEN THEY DISAPPEARED. FOUR OBJECTS WHERE OBSERVED. THE BACKGROUND WAS NOTHING BUT THE SKY. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sane and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a very good witness. We have amended the time above, believing that the sighting occurred at 8:00 p.m.. PD

Ogdensburg, NY
We were out spotting deer,about a mile from home, all the sudden my husband shut off his spotting light and asked, "did I see that?" He pointed out 3 spheres circling each other -at fast pace like they were "playing" about 3 ft. off the ground. On his side of the car about 50 ft from center of the road in the field. Then just spead off north west. WE were about 3 miles from the St. Lawrence river. We have asked many neighbors, family & friends and the only one that had seen something simalar was my brother _he'd seen around his farm (where I grew up) down the road (towards were the balls headed when we saw-same discription as us about the size of soft balls) He said Dad (I knew he'd seen some wierd stuff over the years while in woods cutting trees,working fields and while in Navy, he passed away the same year we saw lights so didn't get to discuss with him)had told him about seeing same around the farm. This has really bothered my husband and I. Who can! one talk to about when see...wish had camera. You my contact us if wish. Thank you for letting me get this off my chest. BELIEVER NOW FOR SURE! Source of report indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD

Rochester, NY
At about 7:50 p.m., on Saturday night, October 24th, 2015, I walked out of Marketplace Mall in Rochester, New York by the Macy's. I looked up above the mall building and saw many flashes of lights. They would change from dim to brighter every few seconds as if they were passing through clouds. I watched this for nearly ten minutes before I had to go somewhere.

Yonkers, NY
I was driving north on Bronxville Road in Yonkers, NY 10708 heading in the direction of Kimball Ave. As I passed the stop sign at Blair St I noticed a bright blue orb in the sky in front of the clouds and above the treeline as I pulled away. I stopped and I pulled to the side before stop sign at Dewitt Ave and watched as the light suddenly shifted very fast down in the pattern of a Chevron and disappeared behind the treeline. I witnessed about 45 seconds before I lost sight. Was not a reflection of something like a spotlight or laser pointer and appeared to be generating the blue light. Also moved and maneuvered like nothing man has ever made.

Plattsburgh, NY
While driving along Route 9 South an oval type object was seen hovering over the water of Lake Champlain about 1/4 of a mile off Wilcox Dock. The object was a translucent white/grey in color and had a series of lights on the top of it. The lights were Red and orange in color. The object hovered over the water at about six feet above the lake. As I drove to get a closer look it simply took off into the sky at a significant speed. It did not make a sound.
